Creating a cute-and-cuddly Ludwig van Beethoven is no easy task, but we think we pulled it off with our Beethoven Little Thinker. Though he stands 11 inches tall, this doll captures the intensity and brilliance of the master composer, while still being remarkably hugable. Ludwig wears a black tuxedo with ruffled shirt, and sports a head full of unruly hair.

As an added bonus, we've built in an old-fashioned music box. When you wind him up, the Beethoven Little Thinker plays the Piano Sonata No. 14 - yes, the stirring Moonlight Sonata!
